Adana-Seyhan Rotary Club
From Solar Cooking
During the past five years, the Adana-Seyhan Rotary Club, with leadership from Mr. Abdullah Paksoy, has developed a functioning education center in Misis, Turkey for teaching about solar cookers and for housing inventory and equipment. About 3,000 CooKits have been manufactured in Adana, and over half have been distributed. Mr. Paksoy admits that teaching women to adopt changes in their long-established, traditional cooking habits is a very slow process. Firewood shortages and rising gas prices play an increasingly important role in this transition. Mr. Paksoy’s team has also begun to spread solar cooking to Armenia.
